Will we ever get rid of the Electoral College system? - a podcast by New Hampshire Public Radio

The Electoral College is a system. It’s a buffer between we, the people who vote, and the actual election of a president. The way this system works results in what some consider an unfair advantage for certain states and voters. But would we ever actually get rid of the Electoral College? What would that take? What are alternatives to the system?

Rebecca Deen, professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Arlington, walks us through the what-ifs.
